I yearn to be able to make stuff like this, and I think there is something there worth developing. However, despite having 25K+ pieces, I don't have a fraction of what's needed to make many of these, and it saddens me.

But I can try to pass on the SNOT techniques and other unorthodox connections to my children, as well as the collection we're slowly growing, so they can carry the torch forward into the "LEGO big leagues".
